"On Thursday, our friends at Transportation Alternatives got into the act, laying out in 85 chunky bullet points, how Mayor Mamdani should expand daylighting, build more bike lanes, create bus rapid transit, expand Summer Streets, widen sidewalks and create car-free streets, reduce the city speed limit, broaden the scope of the next Streets Master Plan, make outdoor dining year-round, and reboot Vision Zero, among many, many, many other things."
"Taking out the real trash: NY1's report on the Council's expansion of the city's Empire Bin program contained many quotes from people pleased to see fewer rats, and one gem of a quote from a driver, who admitted he got rid of his car because it was tough to park it. So the trash bin program is working on two levels!"
Transportation Alternatives proposed 85 specific actions for Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, including expanded daylighting, additional bike lanes, bus rapid transit, widened sidewalks, car-free streets, reduced city speed limits, a broader Streets Master Plan, year-round outdoor dining, and a reboot of Vision Zero. The Empire Bin expansion has reduced rat sightings and encouraged at least one driver to give up car ownership due to parking difficulty. The Port Authority announced a large capital plan and a PATH fare increase to fund expanded service. Mayor-elect Mamdani and Governor Hochul are discussing an expected federal troop increase in New York. Local coverage highlighted a business owner blaming drivers for street problems and noted continued recognition for Arline Bronzaft.
